Title:
Cholesterol-dependent cytolysins: from water-soluble state to membrane pore | Biophysical Reviews
Description:
The cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) are a family of bacterial toxins that are important virulence factors for a number of pathogenic Gram-positive bacterial species. CDCs are secreted as soluble, stable monomeric proteins that bind specifically to cholesterol-rich cell membranes, where they assemble into well-defined ring-shaped complexes of around 40 monomers. The complex then undergoes a concerted structural change, driving a large pore through the membrane, potentially lysing the target cell. Understanding the details of this process as the protein transitions from a discrete monomer to a complex, membrane-spanning protein machine is an ongoing challenge. While many of the details have been revealed, there are still questions that remain unanswered. In this review, we present an overview of some of the key features of the structure and function of the CDCs, including the structure of the secreted monomers, the process of interaction with target membranes, and the transition from bound monomers to complete pores. Future directions in CDC research and the potential of CDCs as research tools will also be discussed.

How Does Link.springer.com Make Money? {💸}

We see no obvious way the site makes money.

Websites don't always need to be profitable; some serve as platforms for education or personal expression. Websites can serve multiple purposes. And this might be one of them. Link.springer.com might be plotting its profit, but the way they're doing it isn't detectable yet.
